- Turn off or unplug the machine when not in use.
- This machine is spray-proof. However, the attached remote controller is not spray-proof.
- When operating this unit outdoors or in a humid environment, please do not let the nozzle exceed the horizontal level. Otherwise, water might go into the nozzle and damage the unit.
- Also, an earth leakage circuit breaker must be installed to prevent possible electrical shock accidents.
- No user-serviceable parts inside. Contact your ANTARI dealer or other qualified service personnel when maintenance is required. Removing upper cover or modifying any part of the machine randomly might cause danger and disable the spray-proof and dust-proof functions. spray-proof means basically, the IP-1000 can be operated outdoors or in humid environments as long as an earth leakage circuit breaker is installed. However, please do not put the whole machine into water as this model is not completely waterproof.
Danger of Burns
- This device is for adult use only and must be installed out of the reach of children. Never leave the unit running unattended.
- Never aim the output nozzle directly at people.
- Fog machine output is very hot. Avoid coming within 50 cm of the output nozzle during operation.
- Never aim the output nozzle at open flames.
- The output nozzle becomes very hot during operation (200° C). Keep flammable materials at least 50 cm away from the nozzle.
- Always allow your ANTARI fog machine to cool down before attempting to clean or service it.
Danger of Explosion
- Never add flammable liquids of any kind (such as oil, gas, perfume) to the fog liquid or fluid tank.
- Use only Antari high-quality, water-based fog liquid that your dealer recommends. Other fog liquids may cause clogging or damage the fog machine.
- Always make sure there is sufficient liquid in the tank. Operating this unit without liquid will cause damage to the pump as well as overheating of the heater.
- If your fog machine fails to work properly, discontinue use immediately. Pack the unit securely (preferably in the original packing material), and return it to your ANTARI dealer for service.

Unpacking & Inspection
Open the shipping carton and verify that all equipment necessary to operate the system has arrived intact. The shipping carton should contain the following items:
- One unit of IP-1000 Fog Machine
- Fluid tube
- Fluid filter
- User manual
If any equipment is missing contact your ANTARI dealer immediately. Before beginning your initial setup on your ANTARI fog machine, make sure that there is no evident damage caused by transportation. In the event that the unit’s housing or cable is damaged, do not plug it in and do not attempt to use it until after contacting your ANTARI dealer for assistance.
Setup

- Place the fog machine on a flat surface.
- Place the fluid tube into a properly filled fluid tank.
- Fill with only Antari-authorized Fog liquid. The Antari IP-1000 only works with uncontaminated Antari FLR or FLG Fog Liquid. Other fluids may cause spitting and other clogging problems and could result in the production of an unhealthful fog. The use of other fluids will void the warranty of the Antari IP-1000. When filled, please place the cap back on the liquid tank.

Performance Note
- All fog machines develop condensation around the output nozzle. Because this may result in some moisture accumulation on the surface below the output nozzle, consider this condensation when installing your unit.
- All fog machines may sputter small amounts of fog occasionally during operation and for a minute or so after being turned off.
- All fog machines have a recycling period after long bursts when the machine will shut itself down for a short period in order to heat up again. During this time no fog can be produced.
Cleaning and Storage
Cleaning your fog machine regularly can help you reduce the frequency of parts
replacement and the cost of maintenance.
After 40 hours of operation, we suggest you use distilled water to clean the
heater as the following steps:
- Fill proper distilled water into a clean tank and connect the fluid tube of the fog machine to the tank.
- Run the fog machine in a well-ventilated place until the tank is empty.
- Use dry cloth to wipe the fog machine.
If the fog machine is not in use, please clean it before storage. Store the fog machine in a dry and cool place. At least run the fog machine once a month.
Please save this user manual carefully.
